Instead of spending a ton of money on expensive tile use wallpaper to replace a traditional backsplash. The patterned wallpaper gives your kitchen a unique look and can save you a lot of money in the process.
3. Match The Cabinet Colors To The Wallpaper
If you are unsure what type of wallpaper to use in your kitchen, match the color of your kitchen cupboards to the wallpaper design. Carrying the same color throughout the room will give the space a harmonious look.
4. Use Wallpaper On The Ceiling
Add an incredibly unique design feature to your kitchen by placing wallpaper on the ceiling. It draws your attention, making the space appear to have higher ceilings and more space.
5. Find Wallpaper That Matches Your Accent Color

Have an archway leading from your kitchen to another room? Use wallpaper around it to highlight the area and add color to your space.
7. Wallpaper Your Island Kickstand
Considering wallpaper for your kitchen but aiming for a subtle touch? Think about placing it on the kickstand of your kitchen island. This can add pattern and color to the space without overwhelming it.
8. Highlight A Unique Feature With Wallpaper
The stove in this kitchen has a unique vintage style and the wall is cut out around the space. The wall has been accented with stunning wallpaper to highlight this feature and draw attention to the area. If you have a unique feature within your kitchen that you want to highlight, try using wallpaper around that area to bring attention to it.
9. Use A Large, Dramatic Print Wallpaper
If you love a bold look, make a statement using wallpaper with a large dramatic print. Just like the kitchen above a bold printed wallpaper can add personality, style and visual interest to a room transforming it into a unique and captivating space.
10. Accent Shelving With Wallpaper
Have shelving in your kitchen? Make the area stand out with a beautiful patterned wallpaper. Instead of using wallpaper throughout your kitchen, accent your shelving area with a gorgeous design to display your kitchen items.
11. Choose A Busy Pattern For A Unique Look
The wallpaper in this kitchen has a busy design and gives an almost vintage feel. It pairs well with the dark green cabinets making them pop against the the bold style wallpaper.
12. Wallpaper Your Breakfast Nook
Another great area to use wallpaper in your kitchen is the breakfast nook! Using wallpaper on the back wall of the nook lengthens it making the space appear larger and drawing your eye to the feature window while highlighting the chandelier.
13. Use Wallpaper To Give Your Kitchen A Vintage Vibe
If you are going for a vintage look in your kitchen, wallpaper can be a great option to add to the look. The red wallpaper in this photo accents the vintage-style kitchen perfectly!
14. Match The Kitchen Colors To The Wallpaper
Instead of just matching one color throughout your kitchen, match both the main and accent color to the wallpaper for a coordinated look.
15. Emphasize Your Style With Wallpaper
Certain patterns of wallpaper can add to the style of your home. The floral wallpaper above adds a country element to the kitchen perfect for a farmhouse-style home. No matter your style, you can find wallpaper that can elevate the look of your home.
16. Choose A Simple Pattern For A Minimalistic Look
Wallpaper doesn’t always have to have a bold or busy design. There are lots of styles of wallpaper available that can add a simple yet elegant look to your kitchen.
17. Create An Accent Wall With Wallpaper
Using wallpaper throughout your entire kitchen may be too overwhelming for the space, but choosing one wall to accent can give your room some color and style. Choose a wall in your space that has features you would like to highlight. Take the photo above as an example, the wallpapered accent wall is behind the kitchen island bringing your focus and attention to both the wall and island.
18. Give Your Kitchen A High-End Look
You can easily elevate the style of your kitchen by choosing a wallpaper that gives it a high-end look. The photo above uses wallpaper with geometric patterns in a similar color to the cabinets making the kitchen seem upscale while keeping a cohesive design by incorporating the same color tones.
19. Wallpaper The Top Half Of The Wall
An idea similar to an accent wall, using wallpaper on only the top portion of the room can accent it differently. The pattern draws your focus to the top of the room highlighting the chandelier and adding some visual interest to a part of the room that would otherwise not stand out.
20. Use Contrasting Colors
A great way to choose the type of wallpaper in your space is to consider the color palette. By choosing a contrasting color to your cabinets (or other colors in the room) you can accent them and create a balanced look within the kitchen.
21. Unify An Open-Concept Space With Wallpaper
If your kitchen is open-concept and shares a room with your living or dining room, you can tie the two rooms together with wallpaper. If you apply wallpaper to the wall that connects to both rooms, you can create a unified look between the spaces.
22. Use An Abstract Wallpaper Design
The wallpaper on the back wall of this kitchen has an abstract pattern that is subtle and just slightly more noticeable than the paint. This simple pattern catches your attention, but not in a distracting way, and gives more depth to the room than paint.
23. Brighten The Space With Vibrant Wallpaper
If you want to add color to your kitchen, choosing a wallpaper with a bright pattern is the way to go! Wallpaper is ideal in the sense that you can choose patterns that have multiple colors that all add to the brightness of your room.
